If you are running your zope behind Apache, the easiest is to just have 
a filesystem based directory there, that you can upload your files to. 
You can then use The Apache proxy to serve that director from the 
filesystem.

If you are using CMF/Plone I guess you can make a skin and put the Java 
file in there. I am not certain about that though.


I also suspect that some of these products might be of help:
